EXTENDING OUR SINCERE SYMPATHY TO THE ENTIRE FAMILY, I AM GLAD I SPOKE TO PAT IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS
Chrystal Ritter

This entry comes from an email of a childhood friend of Pat's, Linda Conrad (Schantzenbach) and I wanted to share it with Patrick, Jen & the rest of the family:
"I won't put anything in the guest book, I have trouble doing that as I tend to ramble on, but I saw that one from Mary Ellen Kerchner, it made me remember the good old days with all us Macungie girls and especially one day I tagged along with my friend and next door neighbor Linda Eisenhard to Mary Ellen's trailer one afternoon in the summer and we listened to music and were dancing and Patty was there too. I'll bet I was 14 maybe even 13 and a year younger than all the rest of them, but they let me hang with them anyway. Linda Eisenhard was a great friend of Patty's and she died a few years ago of cancer too and it is sad to think of them both being gone at way too early an age.
I'm sure this is very hard for your mom and especially Benny. My dad was great buddies with Benny and I have fond memories of him when I was growing up. He was always so jolly. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Hang in there. -Linda"

To me, Patricia Keinert was my “Aunt Patty”. She was generous in thought, word and deed. She would go to great lengths to help out anyone. At her services yesterday, I was delighted to hear all the wonderful stories of how and what she did for others. I knew she did amazing things, I just didn’t have any idea of how many and to what extent. And in classic Aunt Patty fashion, she would have never boasted about all that she did. There’s so many things I will remember. I’ll remember us all piling into cars for the egg hunt on Easter, tooling around on the catarmaran on the waterfront, her awesome homemade hot bacon dressing & pumpkin pie, all the time she spent “on the town” with mom and the girls and the time I babysat Destiny and we spilled nail polish remover on her end table. Of course she never let on that she was upset, after all, the end table was just a thing, a possession and people always came first with my Aunt Patty. Most of all, I will remember the quarters. Mom always passed on the quarters that her sister gave her for me. Even though I didn’t make it to every family function and she didn’t get to see me, she made sure to give me the latest released state quarter for my collection. She always remembered me, and I will always remember her. Her love will live on in all of her family, friends, and every single person she touched with her kindness and generosity.

To Patrick, Jennifer, Earl Jr., Homer and Lynn,
Our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of your mother and step-mother. In the past years that we've known each other, my fond memories are of Dorney Park and sitting in the bleachers and growing up together. And coming to the house before the races, taking pictures of the cars, and all that other fun stuff. My hope is that she meets up with my Mom and they watch over all of us together.

Dear Jennifer,Patrick and Earl Jr,and Homer and Lynn,and Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Pat was a very kind ,and loving person and always had a smile on her face when you were talking with her. I remember 20's some years ago Jennifer, I asked your mother if you could be my flower girl in my wedding,your Mom was so happy ,and so proud of you all dressed up for that day. You were only five or six years.I always called your mom Aunt Pat , I felt she was a aunt to me also. Even when I remarried ,Your Mom would still sent me a christmas card each year for the last seven years,sharing a letter about how proud she was of her childern and grandchildern. Yes your Mom was a fighter,and in so many way's reminds me of my mother being a fighter ,and also the fact she lost her life from cancer at the age of 48 on Christmas day ,and that was twenty years this past Christmas,even thus it seems like yesterday, but with Faith and all my friends and family ,I had the strength to continue on with my life ,and I know God will be with all of you during this most difficult time. I will miss getting that Christmas card this Christmas ,but I will also remember the memories and all the good times we had over the years. And what a good person your Mom was ,and what a small world we live in ,because a few years ago I learned from my great uncle who is blind and sings in a Senior group that your mother would pick him up and drive him to certain places he needed to go. So yes we do live in a small world ,and even thus I moved on with my life ,Your mother still kept in touch with me and still was family to me . God Bless and Keep your Faith,because I know your Mom did,and she will be looking down and smiling. I will miss her and she had a heart of gold,just like my Mom.

Jenn,Mike and Kids and Patrick,
Oh.... the endless memories of the Keinert/Roth girls growing up together at the races and home.If anything good came out of Racing it was the good family friendships and support for one another.Our families had the priveledge to develop a lifetime of memories and fun times together. There aren't many people who i am comfortable calling "mom" other than my own but Pat was one. She was a strong and respectable person whom i will always keep close to my heart. I do know one thing, she loved her kids and grandkids and spread lots of spirit and joy with you guys. Jenn and Patrick you are strong people and your mom was very proud of you guys. I remember my last conversation with her, same as usual "Jenn when you getting married"...LOL..then she gave me that famous Pat Keinert smile that made her face light up. She will forever be looking down on you guys. The whole Roth Family sends their condolences and please know you guys will be in our thoughts and prayers. You need anything we are here!
Love,
Jim , Joan, Jenn, JR, Pam, and little Zane Roth

She told me she was feeling a little better & hoped to come back soon to exercise. She often talked about her children & grandchildren. I will miss her friendly,& always smiling face. Take care.

louise, chrystal, jenn, and all the rest of the family...you are all in my thoughts and prayers through this hard time. i know it has been quite a long time since i have spent time with patty, but the times we did spend together are very memorable. she was always and will always be there for everyone. dont think of it as losing someone, think of it has gaining a guardian angel. when you want to talk to her, go ahead and do it, she'll be there to listen. below is a poem that fits this time of life perfectly...it is my favorite and althugh it is long it is very true... I am here for all of you always.
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
